My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. I refer the minister to his statement of 16 October 2008:

Importantly, we established Infrastructure Australia to ensure that proper cost-benefit analysis was brought to the assessment of the nation’s infrastructure needs and the merits of individual projects.

If the government’s policy remains that for all major projects there should be a fully available cost-benefit analysis, why is this not the case with the National Broadband Network?
